HT201304 How do you retrieve your restriction passcode?

MY 4 year old has somehow wiped safari and my camara from my iPad. The only thing I can think of is that he restricted them and made up his own passcode.  I have no idea what the passcode is and was wondering how to retrieve it? Please help.

You can't retrieve it, if he doesn't remember it, you have to restore the iPad as new and then either download all of your content again or sync with iTunes again.
The one shot that you have is if he set the passcode AFTER the last time that you backed up the iPad, you can restore from that previous backup and the passcode will not be in the backup.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT1911 how can you retrieve your passcode for your ipod if you have forgotten it?

    how can you retrieve your passcode for your ipod touch if you have forgotten it and it became disabled?

    You cannot retrieve it.
    You can do as the manual tells you to do and restore the ipod.
    If you are unable to restore, then type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help articles.

  • HT201274 how can i retrieve my restrictions passcode?  i cannot unlock my phone if cannot log-in my restrictions passcode

    how can i retrieve my "restrictions passcode"?  i cannot proceed to unlock my iphone 4 if cannot supply the restrictions code.
    thanks!

    You can not do so. If you can't remember it, you will need to put the phone in DFU mode (google for instructions) and restore it as a new device. Do not restore your backup. The backup contains the restriction settings.

  • How can i retrieve my restrictions passcodes on my 3 apple devices without have to restore them to the factory settings?

    I have 3 apple devices  an IPad Air/ iPhone5 and iphone4s they all currently running the IOS 8.3 and my question is:
    How can I retrieve the restrictions passcodes in all of them without have to restore them all back to the factory settings ?
    I have all the backups in my Icloud , but if I do that they all will come back to the same settings I have now which includes the same passcodes I don't remember. I had all my passwords and passcodes saved before, but I cant find them.
    looking forward to hear from one of you out there...
    Thank you!

    There's no way around restoring the device as new if you cannot remember your restrictions password.  If there were, it would make having a restriction password useless.

  • How do you elimanate the restriction Passcode on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?

    How do you eliminate the "Restriction Passcode" on a IPhone 4 as I forgot the password?
    I have done a backup and I have done a Restore and I still have the Restriction Passcode On.
    My main objective is to wipe out this phone to manufactures specifications.

    I had the same problem with my iPhone 5C. After trying several YouTube solutions involving CopyBot, which did not work, I finally figured out how to get rid of the restrictions passcode.
    1. Back up your phone to icloud. You will want to be sure you have synced your phone to your laptop as well to access your contacts and photos again.
    2. Make sure you have "Find my Phone" activated on your phone.
    3. On a laptop or other device, go to www.icloud.com/#find.
    4. Login and after the site finds your phone's location, click on the "All Devices" arrow and select your phone.
    5. Select Erase iphone. You will see it erasing on your phone. Don't panic!
    6. When your phone restarts, it will take you through the setup process. YOU WANT TO SET IT UP AS A NEW PHONE! If you restore a backup you will still have the passcode in play.
    7. During the set up, your phone should automatically restore your contacts; however, you may need to upload your photos and music manually.
    8. The restrictions passcode will no longer be on your phone! You will need to download your purchased apps again. This is a bummer, but at least you got past the restrictions passcode.
    I know this worked for the 5c, I can only assume it will work for all versions of the iphone, but I am not an expert.

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • How do you change your restrictions pascode

    i forgot my restrictions pascode.  How do I change it??

    You need to restore your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414), either from a backup made before the restrictions passcode was set, or to factory settings if no such backup exists.

  • How will i retrieve forgotten Restriction passcode for iphone 4

    Help! Been trying to recall my restriction passcode in iphone 4& ipad 2 (ios5) and couldnt retrieve it. Had 15 attempst ans still failed it. Any way i can restore in? Pls. Thanks.

    You'll have to restore the iPhone to its factory default settings. Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, select your iPhone from Devices list, click Restore. Everything on your iPhone will be erased. Anything in iTunes can be synced back over once the restore is done.

  • How do you recover your restrictions password

    I want to recover my restrictions password without restoring it back to factory defalt settings

    Phily. That is not try as reported by many users. Restoring from backup does restore the Restrictions Passcode
    The following also states:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
    It appears that the Users Guide is misleading or it does not apple to the Restrictions Passcode.

  • HT201304 how do you reset the restriction password on an ipod touch

    How do you reset a forgotten restriction password on an ipod touch

    They will be erased from the iPod along with everything else, but since those songs must have originated from a source other than the iPod, they must still exist on the computer you used to sync it.
    After you restore the iPod, you just have to sync it with that same computer again.
